ALTOONA, Pa. – With one event remaining Wednesday night, the Richland boys track and field team led by eight points over Central Cambria in the District 6 Class 2A standings. Richland earned its third straight team title in the event held at Mansion Park Stadium after a two-hour weather delay.

The Rams piled up 79 points to beat Central Cambria's 66. Bellwood-Antis (59. 5), Tyrone (43) and Northern Cambria (40) rounded out the top five.

Rams senior Joe McAneny was a part of three gold medal-winning events in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter relay. “We told them before we got here as long as everyone came through and PR’d or came close to PR’ing, we thought that we would have a good chance,” Richland coach Chris Mangus said. “The boys came through well.

Joey Mac really stepped up today. ” The Rams received points across the board. “It’s a three-peat," Mangus said.

"I’m very happy. They work hard for me. I’m going to miss the senior group a lot.
